Kony recently called Joaquim Chissano, the UN secretary general’s special envoy for northern Uganda, to tell him he’s ready to sign. Chissano’s heading into Southern Sudan in the next couple of weeks to figure out what’s going on and possibly bring back the signed Final Peace Agreement.
Our latest Peace and Conflict Update has all the info and more about why Kony finally got to this point. Check it out here.

this is awesome news. It’s incredible that it’s finally coming to this and hopefully it will stay peaceful for decades to come, so that they may set an example to all other conflicts in Africa. Godspeed.

If he does sign, I hope and pray that the children get to return ‘home’. Mind you some of their parents have been killed and they have endured things I cannot possibly imagine - but if this is signed it will be a huge relief for parents who fear for their children, for the children who have been in hiding and for the children who became adults by force and fear. The Lord’s Resistance army has been against the Ugandan government for so long.
For the sake of peace, for the sake of these children, for Uganda’s sake, I hope he does the right thing and signs. It will be wonderful.
